The Aerobarre Workout- add weights to ballet and boxing moves for total toning

This workout video comes from Self.com and adds intensity to traditional ballet and boxing moves for a killer total body toning and cardio workout. This workout requires a 9- to 12-pound body bar for the ballet moves and 1- to 2-pound dumbbells for the boxing sequences. Do two sets of the indicated reps per move, followed by two-minute rounds of jabs and uppercuts, three times a week on nonconsecutive days. I don't have a body bar, so I substituted a pair of 5 pound hand weights and a broomstick for the moves that used the bar for balance. This workout is not only effective, but tons of fun! I love boxing for releasing the stress of the day, and if I'm mad at anybody, I just imagine their my target- LOL!

Listen to your favorite high energy music during this workout and not only will you tone and tighten every muscle in your body, you'll burn tons of calories and have a blast doing it!

About Me

I have a studio on ArtFire at http://creativecritters.artfire.com where I sell my polymer clay sculptures, miniature houses, pen sets, jewelry, cloth dolls, knit toys, and World of Warcraft plush Taurens. I love creating, and when I'm not doing that there's a good chance I'm outdoors. I enjoying tending my flower and vegetables gardens, taking long walks, watching the animals, and just breathing the fresh air. I'm married and have 2 sweet kitties. When I'm reading, it's usually fantasy, which fills my head with ideas for my artwork. I also exercise on a regular basis (and come up with more creative ideas while I'm doing that). I'm a very active person and always like to be doing something.
